applying for cec next month, but pgwp expires on 7 july

[souljk]

I'm planning to apply for cec, i don't have exact score of mine yet, still waiting for celpip results, i'm estimating that i will get about 330~380 depends on my celpip score which is not very hopeful but still i'm going to apply for cec since this is gonna be my only and last chance. Problem is my pgwp expires on july 7, and my 1 year experiences will be done by end of May which means i can apply for cec by beginning of June. So my questions is should i just wait for aor and apply for bridge work permit or should i consider about getting visitor status? or is there any other way to extend your pgwp? and another questions is when you are applying pr through cec program, did you guys do it by yourself? or find someone to do it for you? i found a guy but he's asking about 1800 dollars, is this worth it??

Based on where things stand now - it's probably unlikely the EE score will drop down to the 330-380 range by the first week of July. To remain in Canada you will either need to change your status to visitor or apply for a closed work permit - however to apply for a closed work permit you'll need an approved LMIA from your employer.

There's not much point in paying someone - your score is what your score is.

The score is unlikely to drop enough for you to get an ITA before your visa expires. Should you wish to stay, you'll likely need to figure out some other form of lawful status.
